  • Panthers' Tershawn Wharton: Ready to face Rams

    Wharton (hamstring) was a full participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

  • Panthers' Tershawn Wharton: Inactive for Week 18

    Wharton (hamstring) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Buccaneers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Wharton was a full participant in practice all three days this week, yet he will still be unable to suit up for Week 18. The defensive end's absence means Bobby Brown will likely see a large portion of snaps at defensive end yet again. The Panthers will be without Wharton for a fourth consecutive game, this time for a matchup that could decide the winner of the NFC South.

  • Panthers' Tershawn Wharton: Questionable for Saturday

    Wharton (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Buccaneers.

    Despite practicing in full throughout the week, Wharton is listed as questionable for the Week 18 contest. The first-year Panther has been effective when on the field, recording 36 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and one pass defensed over nine appearances this season. If he's sidelined for the fourth consecutive game Saturday, expect Bobby Brown to draw another start on the Panthers' defensive line.

  • Panthers' Tershawn Wharton: Full participant in walk-through

    Wharton (hamstring) was estimated to be a full participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Wharton logging a full estimated practice ahead of Saturday's divisional showdown is a huge step up from the defensive tackle's participation in prior weeks. The 27-year-old is on pace to play in his first game since Week 14, and he has two more opportunities to show consistent reps before Saturday's contest.

  • Panthers' Tershawn Wharton: Participates in walk-through

    Wharton (hamstring) was seen participating in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Wharton has missed three consecutive games for the Panthers due to his hamstring injury. The participation in Tuesday's walk-through practice is a positive sign for the defensive end's chances of suiting up for Saturday's game against the Buccaneers, which could decide the division. If Wharton can practice enough to draw an active status, Bobby Brown, Cam Jackson and LaBryan Ray are likely all set to see a diminished defensive snap count in Saturday's contest.

  • Panthers' Tershawn Wharton: Won't play vs. Seattle

    Wharton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

    Wharton will end up missing a third consecutive game due to a hamstring injury, which means Bobby Brown, Cam Jackson and LaBryan Ray are all in line for more defensive snaps Sunday. Wharton will aim to progress enough in his recovery to be available for the Panthers' regular-season finale against the Buccaneers in Week 18, a game that could decide who wins the NFC South division.

  • Panthers' Tershawn Wharton: Sidelined for Wednesday's practice

    Wharton (hamstring) didn't participate in Carolina's practice Wednesday.

    Wharton remains sidelined with the hamstring injury that has held him out of the last two games. The 27-year-old will likely need to practice at some point this week in order to have a chance to play in Sunday's matchup versus the Seahawks. Bobby Brown would get another start at defensive end if Wharton ends up being unable to play.

  • Panthers' Tershawn Wharton: Won't play in Week 16

    Wharton (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.

    The first-year Panther didn't practice all week due to a hamstring injury, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up for Sunday's contest. Wharton is one of Carolina's top interior defensive linemen, recording 36 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, over nine appearances this season. While he's sidelined, expect Bobby Brown to start alongside A'Shawn Robinson and Derrick Brown.

  • Panthers' Tershawn Wharton: Logs DNP on Wednesday

    Wharton (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    The 27-year-old was sidelined for Carolina's Week 15 loss to the Saints due to a hamstring issue, and Wednesday's DNP suggest he's still dealing with the issue. Wharton has been impactful in his first season with the Panthers, recording 36 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and one pass defensed across nine contests. He likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday in order to play in Sunday's divisional matchup against the Buccaneers.

  • Panthers' Tershawn Wharton: Dealing with hamstring issue

    Wharton (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    The 27-year-old was added to the Panthers' injury report Saturday with a hamstring issue, putting his availability for Sunday's divisional matchup in question. Wharton has helped fortify Carolina's defensive line in his first season with the team, recording 36 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and one pass defensed across nine appearances. If he's unable to play in Week 15, Bobby Brown will likely have an expanded role with the Panthers' first-team defense.
